Questions to ask potential employers

• How long do you expect it would take me to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
• What kind of equipment will I be provided? Will the company pay/reimburse me if I want something specific?
• What's the longest tenure of a developer at this company?
• How long has the top quarter of the developers been here?
• What fraction of the developers have been here less than 6 months?
• How long does it take to do a complete deployment?
• How large are PRs? For a "big" PR, how many lines of code? How long is it open?
• About what fraction of their time are developers given (implicitly or explicitly) the freedom to explore?
